If, as we most earnestly hope will prove to be the case, the long projected Kog loon-Canter Railway is at last to be con- structed, then there can be no possible doubt that a great future lies before our hitherto somewhat despised suburb and those persons possessing property in the peninsula are to be congratulated upon the rosy prospects now opening up before & them. It will be some considerable time, however, before the railway can be com- pleted. Surveys will have to be under- taken and rails and'rolling stock imported from Europe, and we shall be much sur- prised if it is possible to leave Kowloon for Canton by rail within at least five years, The nature of the country to be traversed by the line is not conducive to its rapid con- struction, and we therefore cannot expect to see it grow at so rapid a rate as did the trans- ntinental railroads of the United States, which were laid at the rate of several miles a day so long as the line led over the prairies. The distance from Kowloon to Canton is only some seventy ASPBERRYADE, &c.miles or so as the crow flies, but the numerous hills that come in the way will necessitate a much longer route being marksmark & Pads WATRES are taken, as it is scarcely probable that made under the concicat supos vision of a dalytunnels will be attempted in our solid qualified Foglish, Chortet -n!

The latter end of the nineteenth century may well be dubbed the age of strained [10 relations when its history comes to be written. Our latest development in this appears to be any doubt as to the force respect is with France, for there no longer occupying Fashoda being French, and this invasion of British territory cannot fail to lead to strained relations even should it not go further. The French force, con- sisting of eight Europeane and a hundred natives can scarcely be considered a formidable one, yet Sir H. H. KITCHENER has left Khartuom with sixteen hundred men and two batteries of artillery as well as three gunboats to meet it. Unless the French should be reinforced at Fas- hoda prior to the arrival of the-SIRDAR and his force, we do not, see that they can do anything but evacuate the place when called upon to do so. SUII, should they refuse to leave quietly we fancy that Sir H. H. KITCHENER will be the proper man to convince them of the necessity of a
